Murder on Spec

Kate Graham thought her marriage was ideal, but her husband, Duke Fairbanks, who had been unfaithful with her friend Diana Coles, suddenly asks for a divorce after months of neglecting her. She decides to forgo the nearly million-dollar prenuptial agreement, allowing her to temporarily keep the house while Duke moves onto his yacht, where his body is soon discovered. A mysterious man contacts her, claiming he killed Duke “for her” and demands 10% of Duke’s substantial inheritance. When her gay friend is arrested without the possibility of bail, she enlists her lawyer to defend him. The killer insists on having dinner with her, evades Seattle PD detective Paul Tannon, demonstrates his knowledge of her preferences, reveals how he framed Jim, and increases his demand to 20% now that she has two lives to cover. The mysterious killer turns out to be a tax official named Mathis.
